FAQ

General Questions

  • What is War Thunder?

    War Thunder is the largest free-to-play multiplayer online game featuring military vehicles from the early 20th century until present time. Aviation, ground vehicles, and naval forces fight together in one game and even in one battle, just as the real-life battles were fought. The appearance and characteristics of the vehicles in War Thunder are historically accurate, and their damage models are physically based.

  • What military vehicles are available in the game?

    In War Thunder, you will find more than 2000 recreated models of aircraft, helicopters, ships, and both wheeled and tracked armoured vehicles. We are constantly working on adding more units to the game. New updates with modern prototypes and with models of vehicles from both WWII and the Cold War periods are released regularly. You can find the list of all currently available vehicles at wiki-page: wiki.warthunder.com

  • Do I need to buy the game and/or pay a subscription in order to play War Thunder?

    You are free to download and play the game right away without any restrictions or subscription fees.

  • Can I play the game offline?

    No, you need a permanent internet connection in order to play War Thunder. You can choose the server that suits you best (Russia, Europe, America, Asia) in the game mode selection menu.

  • How many players are able to play together?

    In most game modes, the maps are designed for 32 players split into two teams. In certain events, the total number of players may reach 64 people. You can read more about the allocation of players among teams in our article about matchmaking.

  • Can different types of vehicles participate in one battle?

    In combined battles, players fight together either with tanks and aircraft/helicopters or with ships and aircraft. Anti-air units such as SPAAGs and others provide a solid line of defence for allied armoured vehicles against aerial strikes, while a bomber can prove to be handy when you need to sink an enemy destroyer in a naval battle.
